But it\u2019s all very well making small camera bodies hiding large sensors; because sensor size dictates how large a lens has to be. APS-C and Full Frame systems still need lenses significantly larger and bulkier lenses than Micro Four Thirds. It\u2019s one of the key reasons why photographers are switching to Olympus\/OM System and Panasonic Lumix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Larger sensor system lenses can be more compact but there is a cost<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can get lenses that are substantially reduced in size, but only by sacrificing the brightness of the optics. The Olympus m.Zuiko Pro 12-100mm f\/4 is very similar in size and weight to Nikon\u2019s Nikkor Z 24-200mm, which has the same viewing range and the same f\/4 aperture at the wide angle end of the zoom range. But at 200mm, the Nikon lens is stopped down to f\/6.3, 1.3EVs lower in brightness, while the Olympus lens retains maximum f\/4 brightness across the zoom range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An extreme example is Canon\u2019s strategy of producing long telephoto lenses with f\/11 fixed apertures. These RF 600mm and 800mm lenses are impressively small and light, but f\/11 is a serious limitation to working brightness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mirrorless lenses are smaller than DSLR lenses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mirrorless bodies bring the lens mount flange closer to the sensor focal plane. This helps reduce the size of lenses, too \u2013 especially with wide-angle lenses. So, some mirrorless lenses are now noticeably smaller than their DSLR counterparts. But sensor size is still the primary factor in determining the bulk of a lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few comparisons with similar Full Frame, APS-C and Micro Four Thirds lenses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nikkor (FF) S-Line 70-200mm f\/2.8 vs. Fuji (APS-C) XF50-140mmF2.8 R LM OIS WR vs. Panasonic (M43) Lumix 35-100mm f\/2.8<br>Weight 1360g vs. 995g vs. 357g<br>Length 220mm vs. 175.9mm vs.99.9mm<br>Diameter 89mm vs. 82.9mm vs. 67.4mm<br>Cylindrical storage volume* 1367cm<sup>3 <\/sup>vs. 949cm<sup>3<\/sup> vs. 356cm<sup>3<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Canon (FF) RF 600mm f\/4L IS USM vs. Olympus (M43) m.Zuiko Pro300mm f\/4 IS Pro<br>Weight 3090g vs. 1475g<br>Length 472mm vs. 280mm<br>Diameter 168mm vs. 92.5mm<br>Cylindrical storage volume* 10457cm<sup>3<\/sup> vs. 1881cm<sup>3<\/sup>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Canon (FF) RF 24-70mm f\/2.8L IS USM vs. Sony (FF) FE 24-70mm f\/2.8 GM II vs. Olympus (M43) m.Zuiko Pro 12-40mm f\/2.8<br>Weight 900g vs. vs. 695g vs. 382g<br>Length 125.7mm vs. 119.9mm vs. 84mm<br>Diameter 88.5mm vs. 87.8mm vs. 69.9mm<br>Cylindrical storage volume* 773<a>cm<sup>3<\/sup><\/a> vs. 725cm3 vs. 322 cm<sup>3<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sony 35mm FE f\/1.4 GM vs. Fuji (APS-C) XF 33mm f\/1.4 R LM WR vs. Olympus (M43) ED 20mm f\/1.4 m.Zuiko Pro<br>Weight 524g vs. 360g vs. 247g<br>Length 96mm vs. 73.5mm vs. 63.4mm<br>Diameter 76mm vs. 67mm vs. 61.7mm<br>Cylindrical storage volume* 435cm3 vs. 259cm<sup>3<\/sup> vs. 190 cm<sup>3<\/sup>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>*A cylinder of the length and maximum diameter of the lens, representing a typical space required for storing the lens, not the volumetric size of the lens itself, which will be smaller.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no getting away from physics. A smaller sensor means the optical lens design required to cover a given scene, given the same brightness (f-number) will be more compact than the optics required for a larger sensor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter how small you make the body, the lens on your large sensor setup will, likely, determine the size and weight you will need to carry around with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the data, above, shows, APS-C format lenses are smaller and lighter than their Full Frame counterparts, but Micro Four Thirds lenses even smaller and lighter.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"magaz-4188356280\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7118785035453708\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7118785035453708\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"6626408476\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>But sensor is important, isn\u2019t it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s true, a larger sensor should deliver lower noise, and, if you need it, lenses of similar f-stop will deliver less depth of field.

We\u2019ll look at these issues in a future article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the message is clear \u2013 if you don\u2019t want to carry bulky and heavy camera gear anymore, Micro Four Thirds is well worth considering.
